Facebook Newsroom reports that people will watch a Facebook Live video three times longer than a static pre-recorded video. And the reach for live video posts is 10x more than normal posts.For free. BOOM!

How much money are you leaving on the table do you think? When you think about it, you’re seriously hurting your ability to build a connection with your people and grow your brand by NOT doing Facebook Lives.

If you go live on your Facebook Business page which is public, people who like your page will be notified you're live and the longer that you're live, the more people are notified. People in your circles who follow or are friends with you will be notified. All these people can share the post with their friends, groups or pages. You can boost a Facebook Live post and target your list and even more. The opportunities are endless.

You should be jumping all over this!

But I get it, you have a long list of very valid reasons why not to, I have plenty myself believe me!

I have kids and too many other distractions around me = not very professional!

I’ll just plain freak out and not know what to say.

I’ll freak out when I see who’s watching.

I'm freaked out doing anything live and not scripted.

I’m afraid I’ll stuff it up and make a fool of myself.

I have to put makeup on and look presentable for a quick FB Live = too much hassle!

I’m just not brave enough for that.

I’m not very tech savvy and I’ll make a mess of it.

I’ll freak out if no one watches.
